    Girls' Food & Wine Trip 2019

    She's stayed at the Poly with me before and loved it, so it's definitely worth a repeat, thank you! And yeah, already hearing a lot about how hard booking in the fall will be. If we end up having to stay at OKW it won't be the end of the world, since hopefully the refurbs will be completed by then.

    Girls' Food & Wine Trip 2019

    I wasn't even thinking of Riviera, thank you for reminding me of that!

    What Happens When Contracts Expire?

    That’s just how my Vacation Guide explained it to me. I was between CCV, OKW, and SSR and he told me that my contract had been an extended one that someone had sold back to Disney.

    Girls' Food & Wine Trip 2019

    Hey all! I'm pretty new to DVC, so I'd love any advice you can offer! My cousin and I have booked a long weekend next September for F&W, currently at my home of OKW. My 7 month window doesn't open for quite a while, but I'm already thinking over several options of where we could stay. My top...

    This looks awesome! Definitely an upgrade from the sofa beds!

    What Happens When Contracts Expire?

    I would like to think they'll offer people the choice to extend their contracts. I bought my OKW directly from Disney and the person who had it before me chose to extend the contract, so mine will expire in 38 years. Had that not been the case, I would've bought into CCV for the longer contract...

    Backpacks & other bags

    I don't have kids, but I always go into the parks with a small backpack (a little bigger than the Loungefly mini bags). I have definitely seen people with HUGE backpacks, and have been hit my my fair share of them. I think a lot of the problem is people don't pay attention to their surroundings...

    Top of the World Lounge

    I'm new to DVC too! I went in August, and my group arrived about 45 minutes before HEA. We were able to sit at one of the high-top tables...and there were plenty of other tables and couches open. I personally like to get there early to share some apps and drinks with my family before the show...

    Recommendations for ADR at EPCOT?

    La Hacienda is amazing! I went there for dinner in August and everything we had was delicious! I recommend the queso as an appetizer, and the short rib for your entree (it was so tender that I could cut it with the fork!).

    New Member Education Team

    I bought direct this February, and scheduled this phone call because I thought it was required...but I could've skipped it. My aunt has been a DVC member for years and when I have questions, I usually go to her first. It was nice to chat with a DVC CM, and have them say "Welcome Home" that first...

    Spirit, Frontier... How bad are they??

    I've flown Spirit many times, and never had an issue. Check on the bag prices though, because for some of my flights to MCO, they charged more to carry-on than to check a bag.

    When do you stop tinkering with the plans?

    I'm guilty of constantly tinkering with my plans! I make my ADRs at 180 days, then don't touch anything until after I pick FPs at 60 days. After that, I spend the days up until I leave moving things around...even if it means my ADRs have changed by 10 minutes. Currently resisting the urge to...

    Waitlist came through...but NO Email!

    I've had a waitlist come through twice, and both times I saw it on MDE and my DVC dashboard hours before I received an email.

    Anyone else having issues with My Disney Experience?

    I've been having issues with MDE for weeks...Fast Passes, Magic Bands, entire vacation reservations disappearing at random times. Every time I've contacted Disney IT, they've fixed the issue (after 45 minutes or so) so I can see everything but it's still really frustrating! Hopefully the app and...

    Guest experiences with daily room checks

    I've had two experiences with this policy since it went into effect (6 nights at Pop in January 2018, 4 nights at Polynesian in August 2018). For both trips, someone from Mousekeeping would knock on our door around 10am each morning and ask if we needed anything (i.e. towels), and sometimes they...
